Over the past ten years, there has been a significant increase in research into the study of nanocomposites. Nanocomposites vary in their physical and chemical properties. In today’s era, eco-friendly, nontoxic, biocompatible, biobased fillers and composites should be synthesized to increase their societal value in various aspects. These materials have seen extensive use across several industries, from biosensors to biomedicine. Great strides have been made in the field of Microbiology, particularly as Antibacterial agents, among these applications. The objective of this review is to present a thorough analysis of several Nanocomposites that reveal promising antibacterial activity. Such Nanocomposites are reviewed in detail, as well as their antibacterial efficacy is discussed.
Eco-friendly polymers are biodegraded by microorganisms, making it easy to transform them into safer, more straightforward forms. These biodegradable materials can be used in a variety of industries, including medicine, agriculture, drug release research, food and medication packaging, and articial skin grafts. It prevents environmental accumulation and cannot result in pollution of the land, air, or water.
COVID-19 is a contagious disease caused by a newly discovered virus, SARS-CoV-2. It is known to spread through respiratory droplets and contact surfaces contaminated due to deposition of infected droplets. Recently, researchers have also found evidence of airborne transmission of Covid-19. Airborne transmission takes place through formation of aerosols which remain suspended in air for longer periods of time. This transmission heavily depends on the type of surrounding physical environment. Climatic conditions like temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind velocity, air quality, etc. might impact the transmission rate of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we examined the relationship between some of the climatic variables and daily reported cases of Covid-19. Currently, the countries with the leading number of Covid-19 cases are the USA, Brazil, India and Russia. We studied the top most affected region from each country, namely Los Angeles, São Paulo, Mumbai and Moscow, respectively. The daily number of Covid-19 cases was correlated with three climate variables individually i.e. daily average temperature, daily average humidity, and daily average wind speed. There was a significant relationship between the variables in Sao Paulo. Overall, average wind speed was found to have the most number of statistical significant correlations with daily Covid-19 cases among all the regions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
